Why was Dustin so stubborn? Dahlia had spoken to him nicely and even offered to help him, but he did not appreciate it."Hmph! You've said all you can, but they insist on doing things their way. In that case, they deserve what they're about to get, Dahlia. Let them be."Florence crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at Dustin in distaste."Dahlia, you're too kind. These people are trying to steal the private room, and yet you're helping them? There's no need to be so kind to people like them." Julie shook her head."Exactly, Dahlia. Some people need to be taught a lesson to be put in their place!" Victoria exclaimed huffily."Forget it. I shall stay out of your business then." Dahlia's expression was cold as she backed off and went to take a seat in the corner.Somehow, she felt some inexplicable frustration when Dustin turned down her offer to help him. It just came on suddenly and took over her.What was going on with her? He was just a stranger that she'd met a handfu
"Pretty chick?" Lou was dumbfounded by what Vlad said.Dustin had the looks, but no matter how Lou looked at him, he could tell he was a man. So what did Vlad mean by calling him a pretty chick?Could Vlad possibly be differently inclined? Lou shuddered at the thought."Alright, alright! Who'd have guessed that I'd luck out today? There are two such pretty chicks here!"Vlad rubbed his chin with a lecherous look in his eyes. His gaze traveled between Natasha and Scarlet. One was exquisitely charming, while the other was cold and alluring.They both had looks to die for but with vastly different airs. As they sat quietly, they looked like pieces of art waiting for him to appreciate, caress, and enjoy.Compared to these two stunning beauties, the models and actresses he had been with were plain. They did not even hold a candle to these two.It was a rare enough occurrence to meet someone of their beauty, but to meet two of them at once! It was definitely a stroke of good luck for
"Hey, rascal, I'm giving you another chance. Get on your knees and beg. Also, give those two exquisite beauties behind you to me, or I'll make sure you die a terrible death!" Vlad threatened venomously.He was just a man who mooched off the women around him! How could he deserve the two bombshells? Only the powerful and prestigious like him deserved them!"And I'm also giving you your last chance. Get lost, or I'll break your legs!" Dustin warned."You've got a fucking death wish!" Vlad was all riled up and threw a punch straight at Dustin.As a son of the Grants, he could be incompetent in many aspects, but he had been forced into practicing martial arts at a young age. And for no other reason than to show off and impress girls."You overestimate yourself." Dustin scoffed. With a raise of his hand, he slapped Vlad and knocked him to the ground.For a moment, Vlad lost all sense of direction and could not even get back up."What?" Everyone was stunned by what they saw. None of t
With Ray leading them, the Grant guards began gaining the upper hand. The disciples of the Kirin Gang had no choice but to back up.Ray's abilities were exceptional. Even the divine-level martial artists of Shadow Gang were no match for him.He was like a tank, constantly pushing forward and utterly unstoppable."Yes! That's what I'm talking about! Get them, and get them good!" Vlad roared excitedly when he saw the disciples of Kirin Gang slowly getting defeated. It was fortunate for him that he had Ray with him today. He would have lost sorely otherwise."Who's that, Lou? He's amazing!" Sue could not help asking Lou in a whisper."He's Ray Reeds. He just got back from Oakvale. His powers are unbelievable. "I heard that he's an elite disciple of the Celestial Alliance!" Lou told her with a look of admiration on his face."Celestial Alliance? You mean the strongest guild in the whole of Oakvale?" Sue's eyes widened.There were three major powers in Dragonmarsh, namely the Cel
Ray Reeds looked like he was in his early 30s, but he was already a fully developed divine-level martial artist.It could be said that his innate ability was one of the best among the younger generation in Balerno and even Oakvale."You're not bad, old man."Ray moved his slightly numb arm. He smirked, "In the whole of Balerno, not many can still stand after taking a punch from me.""You're quite good yourself, kid. Too bad you're still too inexperienced."Cornelius shook his head and said, "If you leave now, you can save yourself some pain. If not, I won't be holding back."Ray laughed. "Old man, you really think you could defeat me?"He turned his head sideways, tightened his fists, and sneered, "That was just a warm-up. If I actually put in effort, I can defeat you any minute.""Hmph! Cocky!"Cornelius' face darkened. "You're punching above your weight. Let me teach you a real lesson today!"As he spoke, he jumped and shot out like an arrow. He shouted as his fist landed o
"Beat me to death?"Ray was stunned at first to hear that. He then started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke.The onlookers looked on with ridicule in their eyes. They looked at him as if he was an idiot."Is that guy crazy? How dare he talk to Ray like that? Is he not afraid of dying?" Sue was shocked."Hmph! You fool. You challenged Ray openly. You must be courting death!" Lou smirked.Who was Ray Reeds? He was an elite Celestial Alliance fighter and Sir Reeds's favorite. For someone as good as him, it'd be easy for him to crush a newcomer."Ray could take on a hundred opponents alone and still keep the situation under control. Who could stop someone like him? "Dustin is such an idiot. Instead of running away, he's decided to court death!" Rosaline shook her head as she looked on with no emotion."Hmph! He's arrogant just because he knows some moves. If you asked me, I think he'd be better off dead!" Florence said smugly, crossing her arms. "That young man has
"Damn! Is that little boy toy that amazing? Even Ray Reeds lost to him?" Lou was shocked."Am I seeing things? Ray's from the Celestial Alliance? I can't believe he lost to a nobody." Sue was a little confused."What a loser! He looks strong, but I didn't know he's actually this weak." Florence frowned and appeared upset."Do you think Dustin used any tricks on him?" Rosaline and Victoria looked at each other with a suspicious gaze.Ray was invincible just a few moments ago. They assumed that Dustin would lose for sure. No one had expected this ending. Was Dustin really that good? Or was Ray just all show and no substance?"So, what's it going to be? Are you willing to admit defeat or not?" With one foot on Ray's shoulder, Dustin asked arrogantly."Who … Who are you really?" Ray gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. As he tried, he realized that Dustin's leg was as heavy as lead. He was pinned to the ground on his knees, no matter how much he struggled."You don't need
"Uh…" Ray's eyes widened in disbelief.He'd never thought that Dustin would actually kill him. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have been this arrogant. However, he regretted it too late. As life seeped out of him, his pupils dilated slowly, and his consciousness gradually faded.Dustin lifted his hand and threw Ray's corpse away like a rag doll. Ray's corpse fell to the floor after hitting the wall heavily and kicking up a large dust cloud.Everyone at the scene was dead silent.They were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Nobody thought that Dustin would actually dare to kill Ray after he had announced his identity.It was known that Ray was part of the Celestial Alliance and the nephew of Ronald Reeds! Where did this guy find the guts to do it?"Dead … Dead? That guy actually killed Ray Reeds?" Vlad was shocked and found it hard to believe.Vlad and Ray shared similar social status, and Ray could have had a better future than him. This nameless guy had t
